Alice

Alice is a program that allows the human user to tell the computer what he wants the program to do. It is a fun program to mess around with and even though it looks a little old it can help a person understand how hard it would be to program. It is neat how a person can alter any single item in that program. Alice also helps people understand about programming becuase thy person that wrote thy program had to think of every variable to allow the human user see every aspect of every world. Talk about detail!!!

Person who shall remain anonymous

I was talking to my friend, whos name shall remain anonymous, and we were having a conversation about school blogging. This fits perfectly, of course, because we are blogging...DUH! Anyways, she said she didnt like blogging in school becuase she didnt like people judging her, and cause she kinda worried what people would think. This made me laugh, because this is the same girl who would post two new blogs a day on myspace about the most random stuff...I even remember when she used to make up the worlds greatest stories ever, and tell them to me. But really, they were the greatest stories ever, you'll never beat em...Ever...

Indoor Dodgeball

Greatest game ever created by mankind...Tj, Vince, Rico, and myself played indoor dodgeball for two hours...Highlight of the match, had to be Rico hitting Vince in the face with the ball, even though Vin was on Rico's team...Once you have experienced how sweet this game is, you will be addicted...Until than, just watch the movie...DODGEBALL: A TRUE UNDERDOG STORY

NFL

The celebrating in the NFL is ridiculous. Have you ever flicked on the tube, and immediately after a tackle you see a fat lineman celebrating even though their team is down by thirty points? Or a cornerback will make a routine tackle but he has to get up run down the field twenty yards and make some crazy hand gesture to tell the entire world that he made a routine play. I can understand if you make a truly great play, or a tense stop on fourth and inches, but if pro athletes celebrate even routine play they make, its a little aggravating...I cannot even watch a Dallas game anymore, because even if the other team scores a touchdown they flash the camera to Terrell Owns, and how he feels about what the other team did. The media gives these players so much attention, it's ridiculous. Jim Ingraham pretty much summed it up for me in an article he wrote describing how he should "raise the roof" and "bring out the disco ball" for every correct punctuation and capitalization he made. This ridiculous celebrating has got to stop, and the game should be more about winning or losing, not about each player for themself.

Overpriced Athletes

This is getting ridiculous...How many people will spend 161 million dollars in their lifetime...NO ONE!!! What happened to playing the sport for enjoyment, because it was fun... I look at pro athletes nowadays and get disgusted. They always hold out for more money even if it is just a few extra bucks...Where is the loyalty, instead of staying and playing in front of their home town where they are loved they leave for an extra 2 million dollars...One quote that i particularly like is by Ron Artest, he said, "14 million dollars, how am I supposed to feed my family on 14 million dollars?!". To me this is pathetic, if an average household can support a family of five on a 50,000 dollar a year budget, his way overpriced contract can support him just fine. My friend and I broke down C.C. Sabathia's contract and we figured out that he gets paid close to 7,800 a pitch if he pitches every five days, and throws 100 pitches per game...In our struggling economy, one player representative said, "We don't have a struggling economy, this is just a hoax that managers made up so they can pay our players less money". Than he went on to call the managers and gm's cheap bast***s. This is why I support athletes such as Grady Sizemore, Dustin Pedroia, and Kevin Youkliss, they give the city they love a discount that way they can continue to enjoy their life and have fun. In my mind, overpriced athletes are ruining the sports I love and making it more about them instead of the game.

Hollister

I kinda stole this arguement from one of my friends, but i decided that he probably wouldn't think to post this anyways...So, here goes...We have been having an arguement whether or not Hollister clothing is expensive, I vote no, and my other good friend Juan agrees with me, and just as an example someone told me that their jeans cost forty-five dollars for just one pair, but if you buy any name brand jean they are in the upper thirties or low forties...So, forty-five isn't overly priced in my opinion...I would like to hear your ideas, so please respond quickly
